The tradition of Tom Bawcock comes from the feast or famine lifestyle of Cornwall.

One man, Tom Bawcock, dared to take his boat out of the harbour’s safety. He returned with enough fish to make fish pie for the whole village.
Today, a festival takes place each year to celebrate Tom Bawcock's bravery. During the festival, Star Gazey pies are eaten in memory of this famous event.

Mr Tea Oct 2020
Another lovely family stay in Carbis Bay it’s a very hard place to beat with a young family. Stunning sandy beach, just a walk to St Ives and we even got to see dolphins and seals. The property was just the right size and layout for our family. A prefect holiday given the 2020 circumstances.
Mr Harris Aug 2020
Lovely holiday! The position of Lauirston is house is fantastic and the house has plenty of room.
Mrs Chadderton Jul 2020
Excellent house plenty of room for large families
Mrs Webb Jul 2020
Lauriston is in an excellent location. We had a three generation family holiday and the area provided something for everyone. The younger members enjoyed the local sandy beaches and water sports. Trips to Marazion, the Lizard lighthouse, and seal watching at Godrevy Point were enjoyed by all. The coastal path to St Ives is a pleasant thirty minute walk. There was also a good bus service to many parts of this area.
Mrs Challis Sep 2019
Fantastic stay for the 3rd year . Have already booked for next year. Super secure property.
Mrs Webb Jul 2019
We had to move to Lauriston halfway through our holiday, the property we were previously staying at, Treglyn in Hayle, being riddled with faults.
Nonetheless, Lauriston is a beautiful home, full of character and we very much enjoyed our last 4 days there. The view from the balcony is really the icing on the cake, but the house is finished and furnished beautifully, with everything you could possibly want.
Miss Whitfield Jul 2019
Reply from Aspects Holidays
We were so sorry for the issues at the other property, which were unfortunately not something that we could have foreseen or prevented, and has now all been rectified. We completely understand that it is not the kind of thing that you want to experience while on holiday, and we were glad that we could find an alternative property that was suitable for you, so that you could continue your break here in Cornwall. We have been in contact since and we are really glad that you enjoyed your time at Lauriston. Tanya, Customer Services
A big family group of us have just stayed here and could not recommend the house enough, the views alone make this house but the location is fantastic, being 1 of the drivers of a big group it was nice to be able to use the train so close to us to have days out rather then driving and with a 2 min train drive to st ives it came in very handy. It is based on a hill which wasnt a major problem for us but its worth a mention and could have done with having a larger fridge, very minor things. Overall we really loved this stay our 3rd year down Cornwall and would not hesitate to book this house again
Miss Waterhouse Jul 2019
Lovely house and location and will definitely stay here again.
Mr Dee Apr 2019
Fantastic holiday in a fantastic house. Many thanks we will be back soon.
Mrs Collins Feb 2019
What a stunning Cottage to stay in would definitely stay again . Myself and my children and grandchildren stayed here for 10 nights for my daughters wedding in Carbis bay . A stunning backdrop from the balcony for our wedding photos . Very pleased we booked to stay in this beautiful house .
Mr Reeves Jul 2018
Overall we had a fantastic holiday and enjoyed our stay in the lauriston. We found it spacious having the 2 lounges as a bonus and the use of the balcony with stunning views day and night. Very Well equipped
Mrs Adlam May 2018
Lauriston is a wonderful comfortable house for 6 up to 10 people. All enjoyed having their own bedroom with ensuite bathroom. Location was great overseeing Carbis bay. An easy walk of 40 minutes along the cost led right into the centre of St. Ives.
Mr. Seifert Oct 2017
We had a really lovely week staying at Lauriston. The weather during our holiday was mixed and so we put all of the facilities in the property to good use including the central heating, laundry room and sun balcony. We had a dog with us and found the enclosed garden and automatic gates particularly useful. The main open plan living space also worked well for us, this was a very comfortable and beautifully decorated space.
Mrs Fellows Sep 2017
The property lived up to all of our expectations and we would be very happy to use Aspects holidays again.
Mr Penny Sep 2017
Lovely holiday at the Lauriston amazing number of bathrooms and bedrooms . Stunning views from the balcony . Minutes walk to the train station. Secure garden for our dog . Very good amount of utensils and plates cups etc . All in all very comfortable would definitely recommend.
Mrs Thompson Jun 2017
A good size house with great views
Mrs Adams Sep 2016
We had a lovely week at Lauriston.
Mr Gray Oct 2015
Lauriston is a must for any family wishing to stay in Carbis Bay. Excellent location c/w stunning sea views from the balcony. The property is finished to a very high standard and there is ample space for the whole family. We hope to stay again but fear it's popularity will make that difficult as people arrive this year will no doubt wish to return too! *
